A Soybean Cultivar
The Field of the Invention
The present invention is in the field of soybean cultivar breeding and
development. The present invention particularly relates to the soybean
cultivar
EE1660019, EE1660070, EE1660299, EE1660534, EE1660343, EE1660277,
EE1600331, and/or AR1502197 and its seed, cells, germplasm, plant parts, and
progeny, and its use in a breeding program.
Background of the Invention
Soybean Glycine max (L) is an important oil seed crop and a valuable field
crop.
However, it began as a wild plant. This plant and a number of other plants
have
been developed into valuable agricultural crops through years of breeding and
development. The pace of the development of soybeans, into an animal foodstuff
and as an oil seed has dramatically increased in the last one hundred years.
Planned programs of soybean breeding have increased the growth, yield and
environmental hardiness of the soybean germplasm.
Due to the sexual reproduction traits of the soybean, the plant is basically
self-
pollinating. A self-pollinating plant permits pollen from one flower to be
transferred
to the same or another flower of the same plant. Cross-pollination occurs when
the flower is pollinated with pollen from a different plant; however, soybean
cross-
pollination is a rare occurrence in nature.
Thus the growth and development of new soybean germplasm requires
intervention by the breeder into the pollination of the soybean. The breeders'
methods of intervening depends on the type of trait that is being bred.
Soybeans
are developed for a number of different types of traits including morphology
(form
and structure), phenotypic characteristics, and for traits like growth, day
length,
relative maturity, temperature requirements, initiation date of floral or
reproductive
development, fatty acid content, insect resistance, disease resistance,
nematode
resistance, fungal resistance, herbicide resistance, tolerance to various
environmental factors like drought, heat, wet, cold, wind, adverse soil
condition

and also for yield. The genetic complexity of the trait often drives the
selection of
the breeding method.
Due to the number of genes within each chromosome, millions of genetic
combinations exist in the breeders' experimental soybean material. This
genetic
diversity is so vast that a breeder cannot produce the same two cultivars
twice
using the exact same starting parental material. Thus, developing a single
variety
of useful commercial soybean germplasm is highly unpredictable, and requires
intensive research and development.
The development of new soybeans comes through breeding techniques, such as:
recurrent selection, mass selections, backcrossing, single seed descent and
multiple seed procedure. Additionally, marker assisted breeding allows more
accurate movement of desired alleles or even specific genes or sections of
chromosomes to be moved within the germplasm that the breeder is developing.
RFLP, RAPD, AFLP, SSR, SNP, SCAR, and isozymes are some of the forms of
markers that can be employed in breeding soybeans or in moving traits into
soybean germplasm. Other breeding methods are known and are described in
various plant breeding or soybean textbooks.
When a soybean variety is being employed to develop a new soybean variety or
an improved variety, the selection methods may include backcrossing, pedigree
breeding, recurrent selection, marker assisted selection, modified selection
and
mass selection or a combination of these methods. The efficiency of the
breeding
procedure along with the goal of the breeding are the main factors for
determining
which selection techniques are employed. A breeder continuously evaluates the
success of the breeding program and therefore the efficiency of any breeding
procedures. The success is usually measured by yield increase, commercial
appeal and environmental adaptability of the developed germplasm.
The development of new soybean cultivars most often requires the development
of hybrid crosses (some exceptions being initial development of mutants
directly
through the use of the mutating agent, certain materials introgressed by
markers,
2
CA 3058714 2019-10-15

t-
or transformants made directly through transformation methods) and the
selection
of progeny. Hybrids can be achieved by manual manipulation of the sexual
organs of the soybean or by the use of male sterility systems. Breeders often
try
to identify true hybrids by a readily identifiable trait or the visual
differences
between inbred and hybrid material. These heterozygous hybrids are then
selected and repeatedly selfed and reselected to form new homozygous soybean
lines.
Mass and recurrent selection can be used to improve populations. Several
parents are intercrossed and plants are selected based on selected
characteristics like superior yield or excellent progeny resistance.
Outcrossing to
a number of different parents creates fairly heterozygous breeding
populations.
Pedigree breeding is commonly used with two parents that possess favorable,
complementary traits. The parents are crossed to form a Fl hybrid. The progeny
of the Fl hybrid is selected and the best individual F2s are selected; this
selection
process is repeated in the F3 and F4 generations. The inbreeding is carried
forward and at approximately F5-F7 the best lines are selected and tested in
the
development stage for potential usefulness in a selected geographic area.
In backcross breeding a genetic allele or loci is often transferred into a
desirable
homozygous recurrent parent. The trait from the donor parent is tracked into
the
recurrent parent. The resultant plant is bred to be essentially the same as
the
recurrent parent, with the same physiology and morphological characteristics
as
the recurrent part, with the new desired allele or loci.
The single-seed descent method involves use of a segregating plant population
for harvest of one seed per plant. Each seed sample is planted and the next
generation is formed. When the F2 lines are advanced to approximately F6 or
so,
each plant will be derived from a different F2. The population will decline
due to
failure of some seeds, so not all F2 plants will be represented in the
progeny.
3
CA 3058714 2019-10-15
854511g8
New varieties must be tested thoroughly to compare their development with
commercially available soybeans. This testing usually requires at least two
years
and up to six years of comparisons with other commercial soybeans. Varieties
that lack the entire desirable package of traits can be used as parents in new
populations for further selection or are simply discarded. The breeding and
associated testing process is 8 to 12 years' of work prior to development of a
new
variety. Thousands of varietal lines are produced but only a few lines are
selected
in each step of the process. Thus the breeding system is like a funnel with
numerous lines and selections in the first few years and fewer and fewer lines
in
the middle years until one line is selected for the final development testing.
The selected line or variety will be evaluated for its growth, development and
yield. These traits of a soybean are a result of the variety's genetic
potential
interacting with its environment. All varieties have a maximum yield potential
that
is predetermined by its genetics. This hypothetical potential for yield is
only
obtained when the environmental conditions are near perfect. Since perfect
growth conditions do not exist, field experimentation is necessary to provide
the
environmental influence and to measure its effect on the development and yield
of
the soybean. The breeder attempts to select for an elevated soybean yield
potential under a number of different environmental conditions.
Selecting for good soybean yield potential in different environmental
conditions is
a process that requires planning based on the analysis of data in a number of
seasons. Identification of the varieties carrying a superior combination of
traits,
which will give consistent yield potential, is a complex science. The
desirable
genotypic traits in the variety can often be masked by other plant traits,
unusual
weather patterns, diseases, and insect damage. One widely employed method of
identifying a superior plant with such genotypic traits is to observe its
performance
relative to commercial and experimental plants in replicated studies. These
types
of studies give more certainty to the genetic potential and usefulness of the
plant
across a number of environments.

,
In summary, the goal of the soybean plant breeder is to produce new and unique
soybeans and progeny of the soybeans for farmers' commercial crop production.
To accomplish this, the plant breeder painstakingly crosses two or more
varieties
or germplasm. Then the results of this cross are repeatedly selfed or
backcrossed
to produce new genetic patterns. Newer avenues for producing new and unique
genetic alleles in soybeans include introducing (or creating) mutations or
transgenes into the genetic material of the soybean are now in practice in the
breeding industry. These genetic alleles can alter pest resistance such as
disease resistance, insect resistance, nematode resistance, herbicide
resistance,
or they can alter the plant's environmental tolerances, or its seeds fatty
acid
compositions, the amount of oil produced, and/or the amino acid/protein
compositions of the soybean plant or its seed.
The traits a breeder selects for when developing new soybeans are driven by
the
ultimate goal of the end user of the product. Thus if the goal of the end user
is to
resist a certain plant disease so overall more yield is achieved, then the
breeder
drives the introduction of genetic alleles and their selection based on
disease
resistant levels shown by the plant. On the other hand, if the goal is to
produce
specific fatty acid composition, with for example a high level of oleic acid
and/or a
lower level of linolenic acid, then the breeder may drive the selection of
genetic
alleles/genes based on inclusion of mutations or transgenes that alter the
levels of
fatty acids in the seed. Reaching this goal may allow for the acceptance of
some
lesser yield potential or other less desirable agronomic trait.
The new genetic alleles being introduced into soybeans are widening the
potential
uses and markets for the various products and by-products of the oil from seed
plants such as soybean. A major product extracted from soybeans is the oil in
the seed. Soybean oil is employed in a number of retail products such as
cooking
oil, baked goods, margarines and the like. Another useful product is soybean
meal, which is a component of many foods and animal feedstuffs.

. Seed Coat Peroxidase (Perox) - seed protein peroxidase activity is a
chemical taxonomic technique to separate cultivars based on the presence or
absence of the peroxidase enzyme in the seed coat. Ratings are
POS=positive for peroxidase enzyme or NEG=negative for peroxidase
enzyme. Ratings may also refer to the activity level of the seed protein
peroxidase. 1= low activity; 2 = high activity.
Chloride Sensitivity (CLS_T) An "Excluder" accumulates chloride and
restricts the chloride in the roots. An "Includer" accumulates chloride
throughout the plant. Based on molecular markers for analyzing chloride
sensitivity, a chloride excluder carries a susceptible marker allele, and a
chloride includer has a resistant allele.
Plant Height (PLHTN) The average measured plant height, in centimeters, of
5 uniform plants per plot, taken just prior to harvest.
Plant Branching (PLBRR) Rating of the number of branches and their
relative importance to yield. This rating is taken at growth expressive
locations. 1=no branching, 5=average and 9=profuse. Ratings taken just prior
to harvest.
Green Lodging (GLDGR) Rating based on the average of plants leaning from
vertical at the R5 to R6 growth stage. 1=all are erect, 5=average erectness.
9=all are flat. Rating of one is the best rating.
Harvest Lodging (HLDGR) Rating based on the average of plants leaning
from vertical at harvest. Lodging score (1=completely upright, 5=45 degree
angle from upright; 9=completely prostrate). Rating one is the best rating and
ratings are taken just prior to harvest.

. M0N89788 The transgenic soybean event M0N89788 carries a glyphosate
tolerance transgene (U.S. Patent 7,632,985). This transgene may be
introgressed into a soybean variety, such that said variety now carries a
glyphosate tolerance transgene.
M0N87708 The transgenic soybean event M0N87708 carries a transgene
which expresses a dicamba mono-oxygenase, which confers tolerance to
dicamba-based herbicides. This transgene may be introgressed into a
soybean variety, such that said variety now carries a dicamba tolerance
transgene.
Phytophthora Root Rot (PRR_R) means a Phytophthora Root Rot field
tolerance rating. Rating is 1-9 with one being the best. The information can
also include the listing of the actual resistance gene (RPS_T), for example,
Rps gene 1C.
Root Knot Nematode (RKN) Greenhouse screen ¨ 45 day screen of roots
inoculated with eggs and juveniles. Rating Scale based upon female
reproduction index on a susceptible check set determined by number of galls
present on the root mass. Rating scale is 1-9 with 1 being best. Species
specific ratings: Arenaria (MA_R), Incognita (MI_R), Javanica (MJ_R).
Stem Canker (Southern) (DPM_R) Greenhouse screen to identify vertical (gene)
type of resistance. One week old soybean seedlings are inoculated with the
stem
canker pathogen by opening up a small slit into the hypocotyl and depositing a
small
drop of the fungal suspension. The inoculated seedlings are then placed into a
moisture chamber. When the seedlings of the known checks have collapsed,
disease severity rating are given on a 1 - 9 score. One being the best.
Stem canker (Southern) tolerance (DPMTR) Field nursery. The objective of this
test is to evaluate the Field Resistance/Tolerance of soybean lines under
field
CA 3058714 2019-10-15
,

. conditions. This is necessary due to the fact that of the four known genes
that
convey vertical type of resistance to stem canker, one gene (Rdc4 from the
variety
Dowling), exhibits a 40-50% plant kill (false positive) when screened in the
greenhouse using the hypocotyl inoculation technique. Lines that scored a
rating of
4 - 9 in the greenhouse are planted in the field. They are sprayed at least 5
times
during their first month of development with a spore suspension containing the
stem
canker fungus. With the inclusion of very susceptible stem canker checks, we
are
able to identify horizontal (field resistance/tolerance) resistance in certain
lines. Quite
often, lines scoring a 9 in the greenhouse, rate a score of 1 in the field due
to either
.. having the Rdc4 gene or having good field resistance/tolerance. Disease
severity
scores are once again given on a 1 - 9 scale when the plants have reached the
R6
growth stage of plant development. One being the best.
Brown Stem Rot (BSR_R) This disease is caused by the fungus Phialophora
gregata. The disease is a late-season, cool-temperature, soil borne fungus
which in appropriate favorable weather can cause up to 30 percent yield
losses in soybean fields. BSR_R is an opportunistic field rating. The scale is
1-9. One rating is best.
Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS_R) This disease is caused by slow-growing
strains of Fursarium solani that produce bluish pigments in the central part
of
the culture when produced on a PDA culture. The disease appears mainly in
the reproductive growth stages (R2-R6) of soybeans. Normal diagnostics are
distinctive scattered, intervienal chlorotic spots on the leaves. Yield losses
may be total or severe in infected fields. The Sudden Death Syndrome Rating
is both a field nursery and an opportunistic field rating. It is based on leaf
area
affected as defined by the Southern Illinois University method of SDS scoring.
The scale used for these tests is 1-9. A one rating is best.
Sclerotinia White Mold (SCL_R) This disease is caused by the fungal
pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotium. The fungus can overwinter in the soil for
31
CA 3058714 2019-10-15
. .
85451198
. many years as sclerotia and infect plants in prolonged periods of high
humidity
or rainfall. Yield losses may be total or severe in infected fields.
Sclerotinia
White Mold (SCL_R) rating is a field rating (1-9 scale) based on the
percentage of wilting or dead plants in a plot. A one rating is the best.
Frog Eye Leaf Spot (FELSR) This is caused by the fungal pathogen
Cercospora sojina. The fungus survives as mycelium in infected seeds and in
infested debris. With adequate moisture new leaves become infected as they
develop until all the leaves are infected. Yield losses may be up to 15% in
severe infected fields. Frog Eye Leaf Spot (FELSR) rating is a field rating (1-
9
scale) based on the percentage of leaf area affected. The scale is 1-9 where
1=no leaf symptoms and 9=severe leaf symptoms. One is the best rating. To
test varieties for Frog Eye Leaf Spot a disease nursery is artificially
inoculated
with spores. The ratings are done when the plants have reached the R5-R6
growth stage. Visual calibration is done with leaf photos of different frogeye
severity ratings as used by the University of Tennessee and Dr. Melvin
Newman, State Plant Pathologist for TN.
Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) The Soybean Cyst Nematode Heterodera
glycines, is a small plant-parasitic roundworm that attacks the roots of
soybeans. Soybean Cyst Nematode Ratings are taken from a 30 day
greenhouse screen using cyst infested soil. The rating scale is based upon
female reproduction index (Fl%) on a susceptible check set ((female
reproduction on a specific line/female reproduction on Susceptible check)*100)
where <10% = R (RESISTANT); >10%-<30% = MR (MODERATELY
RESISTANT); >30%-<60%= MS (MODERATELY SUSPECTIBLE); >60% = S
(SUSPECTIBLE). The screening races include: 1, 3, 5, 14. Individual ratings
CN1_P, CN3_P, CN5_P, and CN14_P refer to the resistance to SCN races 1,
3, 5 and 14 Fl% respectively.

disease is not considered fatal, plant damage can occur when the infestation
is
severe.
Soybean Rust (Rust) Previously known as Asian soybean rust. This disease
is caused by the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhiz.
Maturity Days from Planting (MRTYN) Plants are considered mature when
95% of the pods have reached their mature color. MRTYN is the number of
days calculated from planting date to 95% mature pod color.
Relative Maturity Group (RM) Industry Standard for varieties groups, based
on day length or latitude. Long day length (northern areas in the Northern
Hemisphere) are classified as (Groups 000,00,0). Mid day lengths variety
groups lie in the middle group (Groups 1-VI). Very short day lengths variety
groups (southern areas in Northern Hemisphere) are classified as (Groups VII,
VIII, IX). Within a maturity group are sub-groups. A sub-group is a tenth of a
relative maturity group (for example, 1.3 would indicate a group 1 and a
subgroup 3). Within narrow comparisons, the difference of a tenth of a
relative
maturity group equates very roughly to a day difference in maturity at
harvest.
Grain Yield at Standard Moisture (YGSMN) The actual grain yield at
standard moisture (13%) reported in the unit's bushels/acre.
Shattering (STR_R) The rate of pod dehiscence prior to harvest. Pod
dehiscence is the process of beans dropping out of the pods. Advanced
varieties are planted in a replicated nursery south of their adapted zone to
promote early senescence. Mature plots are allowed to stand in the field to
endure heat/cool and especially wet/dry cycles. Rating is based on the
33
CA 3058714 2019-10-15
85451198
. differences between varieties of the amount of open pods and soybeans that
have fallen on the ground. The rating scale is 1-9 with 1=no shattering and
9=severe shattering. One rating is best.
Yield Test Percentage (TESTP) The mean yield of the subject variety
expressed as a percentage of the mean yield of all varieties in the trial.
Plant Parts Means the embryos, anthers, pollen, nodes, roots, root tips,
flowers, petals, pistols, seeds, pods, leaves, stems, tissue, tissue cultures,
meristematic cells and other cells (but only to the extent the genetic makeup
of
the cell has both paternal and maternal material) and the like.
Palmitic Acid Means a fatty acid, C15H31COOH, occurring in soybean. This is
one of the five principal fatty acids of soybean oil.
Linolenic Acid Means an unsaturated fatty acid, C17H29C00H, occurring in
soybean. This is one of the five principal fatty acids of soybean oil.

. Definitions of Staging of Development
The plant development staging system employed in the testing of this
invention divides stages as vegetative (V) and reproductive (R). This system
accurately identifies the stages of any soybean plant. However, all plants in
a
given field will not be in the stage at the same time. Therefore, each
specific V
or R stage is defined as existing when 50% or more of the plants in the field
are in or beyond that stage.
The first two stages of V are designated a VE (emergence) and VC (cotyledon
stage). Subdivisions of the V stages are then designated numerically as V1,
V2, V3 through V (n). The last V stage is designated as V (n), where (n)
represents the number for the last node stage of the specific variety. The (n)
will vary with variety and environment. The eight subdivisions of the
reproductive stages (R) states are also designated numerically. R1=beginning
bloom; R2=full bloom; R3=beginning pod; R4=full pod; R5=beginning seed;
R6=full seed; R7=beginning maturity; R8=full maturity.
The present invention comprises a soybean plant, plant part, plant cell, and
seed,
characterized by molecular and physiological data obtained from the
representative
sample of said variety deposited with the American Type Culture Collection.
Additionally, the present invention comprises a soybean plant comprising the
homozygous alleles of the variety, formed by the combination of the disclosed
soybean plant or plant cell with another soybean plant or cell.
This soybean variety in one embodiment carries one or more transgenes, for
example, the glyphosate tolerance transgene, a dicamba mono-oxygenase gene, a
desaturase gene or other transgenes. In another embodiment of the invention,
the
soybean does not carry any herbicide resistance traits. In yet another
embodiment of
the invention, the soybean does not carry any transgenes but may carry alleles
for
aphid resistance, cyst nematode resistance and/or brown stem rot or the like.

EE1660277, EE1600331, and/or AR1502197has superior characteristics. The
EE1660019, EE1660070, EE1660299, EE1660534, EE1660343, EE1660277,
EE1600331, and/or AR15021971ine has been selfed sufficient number of
generations
to provide a stable and uniform plant variety.
Cultivar EE1660019, EE1660070, EE1660299, EE1660534, EE1660343,
EE1660277, EE1600331, and/or AR1502197 shows no variants other than expected
due to environment or that normally would occur for almost any characteristic
during
the course of repeated sexual reproduction. Some of the criteria used to
select in
various generations include: seed yield, emergence, appearance, disease
tolerance,
maturity, plant height, and shattering data.
The inventor believes that EE1660019, EE1660070, EE1660299, EE1660534,
EE1660343, EE1660277, EE1600331, and/or AR1502197 is similar in relative
maturity to the comparison varieties. However, as shown in Tables 2, 4, 6, 8,
10, 12,
14, and 16, EE1660019, EE1660070, EE1660299, EE1660534, EE1660343,
EE1660277, EE1600331, and/or AR1502197 differs from these cultivars.
Direct comparisons were made between EE1660019, EE1660070, EE1660299,
EE1660534, EE1660343, EE1660277, EE1600331, and/or AR1502197and the listed
commercial varieties. Traits measured may include yield, maturity, lodging,
plant
height, branching, field emergence, and shatter. The results of the comparison
are
presented in the following tables. The number of tests in which the varieties
were
compared is shown with the environments, mean and standard deviation for some
traits.

- It is well known in the art that, by way of backcrossing, one or more traits
or loci may
be introduced into a given variety while otherwise retaining essentially all
of the traits
of that variety. An example of such backcrossing to introduce a trait into a
starting
variety is described in U.S. Patent No. 6,140,556, where soybean variety
Williams '82
was developed using backcrossing techniques to transfer a locus comprising the
Rps1 gene to the variety Williams. Williams '82 is comparable to the recurrent
parent
variety Williams except for resistance to phytopthora rot. Both Williams '82
and
Williams have the same relative maturity, indeterminate stems, and flower,
pod,
pubescence, and hilum color.
The present invention EE1660019, EE1660070, EE1660299, EE1660534,
EE1660343, EE1660277, EE1600331, and/or AR1502197 can carry genetic
engineered recombinant genetic material to give improved traits or qualities
to the
soybean. For example, but not limited to, the present invention can carry the
glyphosate resistance gene for herbicide resistance as taught in the Monsanto
patents (W092/00377, W092/04449, US 5,188,642 and US 5,312,910), or a gene
which confers tolerance to dicamba-based herbicides, or the STS mutation for
herbicide resistance. Additional traits carried in transgenes or mutation can
be
transferred into the present invention. Some of these genes include genes that
give
disease resistance to sclerotinia such as the oxalate oxidase (Ox Ox) gene as
taught
in PCT/FR92/00195 Rhone Polunc and/or an oxalate decarboxylase gene for
disease resistance or genes designed to alter the soybean oil within the seed
such
as desaturase, thioesterase genes (shown in EP0472722, US 5,344,771) or genes
designed to alter the soybean's amino acid characteristics. This line can be
crossed
with another soybean line which carries a gene that acts to provide herbicide
resistance or alter the saturated and/or unsaturated fatty acid content of the
oil within
the seed, or the amino acid profile of the seed. Thus through transformation
or
backcrossing of the present invention with a transgenic line carrying the
desired
event, the present invention further comprise a new transgenic event that is
heritable.
Some of the available soybean transgenic events include 11-234-01p Dow Soybean

The present invention can also carry herbicide tolerance where the tolerance
is
conferred to an herbicide selected from the group consisting of glyphosate,
glufosinate, acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors, hydroxyphenylpyruvate
dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors, protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitors,

This invention also is directed to methods for producing a new soybean plant
by
crossing a first parent plant with a second parent plant wherein the first or
second
parent plant is the present invention. Additionally, the present invention may
be used
in the variety development process to derive progeny in a breeding population
or
crossing. Further, both first and second parent plants can be or be derived
from the
soybean line EE1660019, EE1660070, EE1660299, EE1660534, EE1660343,
EE1660277, EE1600331, and/or AR1502197. A variety of breeding methods can be
selected depending on the mode of reproduction, the trait, the condition of
the
germplasm. Thus, any such methods using the EE1660019, EE1660070,

85451198
EE1660299, EE1660534, EE1660343, EE1660277, EE1600331, and/or AR1502197
are part of this invention: selfing, backcrosses, locus conversion, recurrent
selection,
mass selection and the like.
.. The scope of the present invention includes use of marker methods. In
addition to
phenotypic observations, the genotype of a plant can also be examined. There
are
many techniques or methods known which are available for the analysis,
comparison
and characterization of plant's genotype and for understanding the pedigree of
the
present invention and identifying plants that have the present invention as an
ancestor; among these are lsozyme Electrophoresis, Restriction Fragment Length
Polymorphisms (RFLPs), Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs),
Arbitrarily Primed Polymerase Chain Reaction (AP-PCR), DNA Amplification
Fingerprinting (DAF), Sequence Characterized Amplified Regions (SCARs),
Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs), and Simple Sequence Repeats
(SSRs) which are also referred to as Microsatellites.
A genotypic profile of soybean variety EE1660019, EE1660070, EE1660299,
EE1660534, EE1660343, EE1660277, EE1600331, and/or AR1502197 can be used
to identify a plant comprising variety EE1660019, EE1660070, EE1660299,
EE1660534, EE1660343, EE1660277, EE1600331, and/or AR1502197 as a parent,
since such plants will comprise the same homozygous alleles as variety
EE1660019,
EE1660070, EE1660299, EE1660534, EE1660343, EE1660277, EE1600331, and/or
AR1502197. Because the soybean variety is essentially homozygous at all
relevant
loci, most loci should have only one type of allele present. In contrast, a
genetic
.. marker profile of an Fl progeny should be the sum of those parents, e.g.,
if one
parent was homozygous for allele X at a particular locus, and the other parent
homozygous for allele Y at that locus, then the Fl progeny will be XY
(heterozygous)
at that locus. Subsequent generations of progeny produced by selection and
breeding are expected to be of genotype XX (homozygous), YY (homozygous), or
XY
(heterozygous) for that locus position. When the Fl plant is selfed or sibbed
for
successive filial generations, the locus should be either X or Y for that
position.

a
progenitor. Molecular profiles may be identified with SNP, Single Nucleotide
Polymorphism, or other tools also.
Traits are average values for all trial locations, across all years in which
the data was
taken. In addition to the visual traits that are taken, the genetic
characteristic of the
plant can also be characterised by its genetic marker profile. The profile can
interpret
or predict the pedigree of the line, the relation to another variety,
determine the
accuracy of a listed breeding strategy, or invalidate a suggested pedigree.

. Primers and PCR protocols for assaying these and other markers are disclosed
in the
Soybase (sponsored by the USDA Agricultural Research Service and Iowa State
University) located at the world wide web at 129.186.26.94/SSR.html.
Additionally, these markers such as SSRs, RFLP's, SNPs, Ests, AFLPs, gene
primers, and the like can be developed and employed to identify genetic
alleles which
have an association with a desired trait, loci or locus. The allele can be
used in a
marker assisted breeding program to move traits (native, nonnative (from a
different
species), or transgenes) into the present invention. The value of markers
includes
allowing the introgression and/or locus conversion of the allele(s)/trait(s)
into the
desired germplasm with little to no superfluous germplasm being dragged from
the
allele/trait donor plant into the present invention. This results in formation
of the
present invention for example, cyst nematode resistance, brown stem rot
resistance,
aphid resistance, Phytophthora resistance, IDC resistance, BT genes, male
sterility
genes, glyphosate tolerance genes, Dicamba tolerance, HPPD tolerance, rust
tolerance, Asian Rust tolerance, fungal tolerance, or drought tolerance genes.
Additionally, the invention through transgenes, or if a native trait through
markers or
backcross breeding, can include a polynucleotide encoding phytase, FAD-2, FAD-
3,
galactinol synthase or a raffinose synthetic enzyme; or a polynucleotide
conferring
resistance to soybean cyst nematode, brown stem rot, phytophthora root rot, or

Many traits have been identified that are not regularly selected for in the
development
of a new cultivar. Using materials and methods well known to those persons
skilled
in the art, traits that are capable of being transferred, to cultivar of the
present
invention include, but are not limited to, herbicide tolerance, resistance for
bacterial,
fungal, or viral disease, nematode resistance, insect resistance, enhanced
nutritional
quality, such as oil, starch and protein content or quality, improved
performance in an
industrial process, altered reproductive capability, such as male sterility or
male/female fertility, yield stability and yield enhancement. Other traits
include the
production of commercially valuable enzymes or metabolites within the present
invention.
A transgene typically comprises a nucleotide sequence whose expression is
responsible or contributes to the trait, under the control of a promoter
capable of
directing the expression of the nucleotide sequence at the desired time in the
desired
tissue or part of the plant. Constitutive, tissue-specific or inducible
promoters are well
known in the art and have different purposes and each could be employed. The
transgene(s) may also comprise other regulatory elements such as for example
translation enhancers or termination signals. The transgene may be adapted to
be
transcribed and translated into a protein, or to encode RNA in a sense or
antisense
orientation such that it is not translated or only partially translated.
Transgenes may be directly introduced into the cultivar using genetic
engineering,
site specific insertion techniques, and transformation techniques well known
in the art
46

_
. or introduced into the cultivar through a process which uses a donor parent
which
has the transgene(s) already introgressed. This process of introduction of a
transgene(s) or native/non-native traits into the cultivar may use the donor
parent in a
marker assisted trait conversion process, where the trait may be moved for
example
by backcrossing using the markers for selection of subsequent generations.
The laboratory-based techniques described above, in particular RFLP and SSR,
can
be used in such backcrosses to identify the progenies having the highest
degree of
genetic identity with the recurrent parent. This permits one to accelerate the
production of soybean cultivars having at least 90%, 95%, 99% genetic, or
genetically identical to the recurrent parent, and further comprising the
trait(s)
introgressed from the donor parent. Such determination of genetic identity can
be
based on markers used in the laboratory-based techniques described above.
The last backcross generation is then selfed to give pure breeding progeny for
the
gene(s) being transferred. The resulting plants have all of the morphological
and
physiological characteristics of cultivar of the present invention as listed
in Tables 1,
3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15, and as listed in Tables 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14,
and 16 as
determined at the 5% significance level when grown under substantially similar
environmental conditions, in addition to the gene trait(s) transferred to the
inbred. The
exact backcrossing protocol will depend on the trait being altered to
determine an
appropriate testing protocol. Although backcrossing methods are simplified
when the
trait being transferred is a dominant allele, a recessive allele may also be
transferred.
In this instance it may be necessary to introduce a test of the progeny to
determine if
the desired trait has been successfully transferred.
In general, methods to transform, modify, edit or alter plant endogenous
genomic
DNA include altering the plant native DNA sequence or a pre-existing
transgenic
sequence including regulatory elements, coding and non-coding sequences. These
methods can be used, for example, to target nucleic acids to pre-engineered
target
recognition sequences in the genome. Such pre-engineered target sequences may
47
CA 3058714 2019-10-15
_ 85451198
= be introduced by genome editing or modification. As an example, a
genetically
modified plant variety is generated using "custom" or engineered endonucleases
such as meganucleases produced to modify plant genomes (see e.g., WO
2009/114321; Gao et al. (2010) Plant Journal 1:176-187). Another site-directed
-- engineering method is through the use of zinc finger domain recognition
coupled with
the restriction properties of restriction enzyme. See e.g., Umov, et al.,
(2010) Nat Rev
Genet. 11(9):636-46; Shukla, et al., (2009) Nature 459 (7245):437-41. A
transcription
activator-like (TAL) elfector-DNA modifying enzyme (TALE or TALEN) is also
used to
engineer changes in plant genome. See e.g., US20110145940, Cermak et al.
-- (2011), Nucleic Acids Res. 39(12) and Boch et al., (2009), Science
326(5959): 1509-
12. Site-specific modification of plant genomes can also be performed using
the
bacterial type II CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic
repeats)/Cas (CRISPR-associated) system. See e.g., Belhaj et al., (2013),
Plant
Methods 9: 39; The Cas9/guide RNA-based system allows targeted cleavage of
genomic DNA guided by a customizable small noncoding RNA in plants (see e.g.,
WO 2015026883A1).
The cultivar of the invention can also be used for transformation where
exogenous
genes are introduced and expressed by the cultivar of the invention. Genetic
variants
-- created either through traditional breeding methods using cultivar of the
present
invention or through transformation of such cultivar by any of a number of
protocols
known to those of skill in the art are intended to be within the scope of this
invention
(see e.g. Trick et al. (1997) Recent Advances in Soybean Transformation, Plant
Tissue Culture and Biotechnology, 3:9-26).
Transformation methods are means for integrating new genetic coding sequences
(transgenes) into the plant's genome by the incorporation of these sequences
into a
plant through man's assistance. Many dicots including soybeans can easily be
transformed with Agrobacterium. Methods of introducing desired recombinant DNA
-- molecule into plant tissue include the direct infection or co-cultivation
of plant cells
with Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Horsch et al., Science, 227:1229 (1985).
48

_ 85451198
Descriptions of Agrobacterium vector systems and methods are shown in Gruber,
et
al., "Vectors for Plant Transformation, in Methods in Plant Molecular Biology
&
Biotechnology" in Glich et at., (Eds. pp. 89-119, CRC Press, 1993).
Transformed
plants obtained via protoplast transformation are also intended to be within
the scope
of this invention. Other transformation methods such as whiskers, aerosol
beam, etc.
are well known in the art and are within the scope of this invention. The most
common method of transformation after the use of agrobacterium is referred to
as
gunning or microprojectile bombardment. This process has small gold-coated
particles
coated with DNA (including the transgene) shot into the transformable
material.
Techniques for gunning DNA into cells, tissue, explants, meristems, callus,
embryos,
and the like are well known in the prior art.
The DNA used for transformation of these plants clearly may be circular,
linear, and
double or single stranded.
Some of the time the DNA is in the form of a plasmid. The plasmid may contain
additional regulatory and/or targeting sequences which assist the expression
or
targeting of the gene in the plant. The methods of forming plasmids for
transformation
are known in the art. Plasmid components can include such items as: leader
sequences, transit polypeptides, promoters, terminators, genes, introns,
marker genes,
etc. The structures of the gene orientations can be sense, antisense, partial
antisense
or partial sense: multiple gene copies can be used.
After the transformation of the plant material is complete, the next step is
identifying the
cells or material, which has been transformed. In some cases, a screenable
marker is
employed such as the beta-glucuronidase gene of the uidA locus of E. co/i.
Then, the
transformed cells expressing the colored protein are selected for either
regeneration or
further use. In many cases, a selectable marker identifies the transformed
material.
The putatively transformed material is exposed to a toxic agent at varying
concentrations. The cells not transformed with the selectable marker, which
provides
resistance to this toxic agent, die. Cells or tissues containing the resistant
selectable
49
CA 3058714 2019-10-15

85451198
. marker generally proliferate. It has been noted that although selectable
markers protect
the cells from some of the toxic effects of the herbicide or antibiotic, the
cells may still
be slightly affected by the toxic agent by having slower growth rates. If the
transformed
materials are cell lines then these lines are used to regenerate plants. The
cells' lines
are treated to induce tissue differentiation. Methods of regeneration of
plants are well
known in the art. General methods of culturing plant tissues are provided for
example
by Maki et at. "Procedures for Introducing Foreign DNA into Plants" in Methods

The plants from the transformation process or the plants resulting from a
cross using a
transformed line or the progeny of such plants which carry the transgene are
transgenic
plants.
The genes responsible for a specific gene trait are generally inherited
through the
nucleus. Known exceptions are, e.g. the genes for male sterility, some of
which are
inherited cytoplasmically, but still act as single gene traits. Male sterile
soybean
germplasm for hybrid soybean production was taught in US patent 4,648,204. In
a
preferred embodiment, a transgene to be introgressed into the cultivar

parent

, In a further embodiment of the invention, a plastid transgene comprises a
gene that
has transcribed from a single promoter, or two or more genes transcribed from
a
single promoter.
.. In another embodiment of the invention, DNA sequences native to soybean as
well
as non-native DNA sequences can be transformed into the soybean cultivar of
the
invention and used to alter levels of native or non-native proteins. Various
promoters, targeting sequences, enhancing sequences, and other DNA sequences
can be inserted into the genome for the purpose of altering the expression of
proteins. Reduction of the activity of specific genes (also known as gene
silencing or
gene suppression) is desirable for several aspects of genetic engineering in
plants.
Many techniques for gene silencing are well known to one of skill in the art,

of the invention include tolerance to inhibition by cyclohexanedione and

_ aryloxyphenoxypropanoic acid herbicides (U.S. Pat. No. 5,162,602), which is
conferred by an altered acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase); transgenic
glyphosate tolerant plants, which tolerance is conferred by an altered 5-
enolpyruvy1-
3-phosphoshikimate (EPSP) synthase gene; tolerance to a protoporphyrinogen
oxidase inhibitor, which is achieved by expression of a tolerant
protoporphyrinogen
oxidase enzyme in plants (U.S. Pat. No. 5,767,373.) Genes encoding altered
protox
resistant to a protox inhibitor can also be used in plant cell transformation
methods.
For example, plants, plant tissue or plant cells transformed with a transgene
can also
be transformed with a gene encoding an altered protox (See US patent 6,808,904
)
capable of being expressed by the plant. The thus-transformed cells are
transferred
to medium containing the protox inhibitor wherein only the transformed cells
will
survive. Protox inhibitors contemplated to be particularly useful as selective
agents
are the diphenylethers (e.g. acifluorfen, 5-[2-chloro-4-
(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-2-
nitrobezoic acid; its methyl ester, or oxyfluorfen, 2-chloro-1-(3-ethoxy-4-
nitrophenoxy)-4-(trifluorobenzene)), oxidiazoles, (e.g. oxidiazon, 342,4-
dichloro-5-(1-
methylethoxy)pheny11-5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1,3,4-oxad iazol-2-(3H)-one),
cyclic
imides (e.g. S-23142, N-
(4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-propargyloxyphenyI)-3,4,5,6-
tetrahydrophthalimide; chlorophthalim, N-
(4-chloropheny1)-3,4,5,6-

trichlorophenyI)-4-nitropyrazoly1-5-oxy]propionate; M&B 39279), pyridine
derivatives

piperidinocarbamate analogs and bicyclic triazolones as disclosed in the
International
patent application WO 92/04827; EP 532146).
The method is applicable to any plant cell capable of being transformed with
an
altered protox-encoding gene, and can be used with any transgene of interest.
Expression of the transgene and the protox gene can be driven by the same
promoter functional on plant cells, or by separate promoters.
Modified inhibitor-resistant protox enzymes of the present invention are
resistant to
herbicides that inhibit the naturally occurring protox activity. The
herbicides that

. 85451198
. inhibit protox include many different structural classes of molecules (Duke

acifluorifen, 5-[2-
chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-2-nitrobezoic acid; its methyl ester; or
oxyfluorfen,
2-chloro-1-(3-ethoxy-4-nitrophenoxy)-4-(trifluorobenzene)}, oxidiazoles

(4-
chlorophenyI)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimide), phenyl pyrazoles (e.g. TNPP-
ethyl,
ethyl 241-(2,3,4-trichloropheny1)-4-nitropyrazoly1-5-oxy]propionate; M&B
39279),
pyridine derivatives (e.g. LS 82-556), and phenopylate and its 0-
phenylpyrrolidino-
and piperidinocarbamate analogs.
Direct selection may be applied where the trait acts as a dominant trait. An
example
of a dominant trait is herbicide tolerance. For this selection process, the
progeny of
the initial cross are sprayed with the herbicide prior to the backcrossing.
The spraying
eliminates any plant that does not have the desired herbicide tolerance
characteristic,
and only those plants that have the herbicide tolerance gene are used in the
subsequent backcross. This process is then repeated for the additional
backcross
generations.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, a transgene transformed or
introgressed into cultivar EE1660019, EE1660070, EE1660299, EE1660534,
EE1660343, EE1660277, EE1600331, and/or AR1502197, for example as a single
locus conversion, comprises a gene conferring tolerance to a herbicide and at
least
another nucleotide sequence for another trait, such as for example, insect
resistance
or tolerance to another herbicide. Another gene capable of being transferred
into the
cultivar EE1660019, EE1660070, EE1660299, EE1660534, EE1660343,

. substantially fixed genetics and is phenotypically uniform with no off types
expected,
there still remains a small proportion of segregating loci either within
individuals or
within the population as a whole. Sublining provides the ability to select for
these loci,
which have no apparent morphological or phenotypic effect on the plant
characteristics, but may have an effect on overall yield. For example, the
methods
described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,437,697, 7,973,212, and US2011/0258733, and
US2011/0283425 may be utilized by a breeder of ordinary skill in the art to
identify
genetic loci that are associated with yield potential to further purify the
variety in order
to increase its yield. A breeder of ordinary skill in the art may fix
agronomically
relevant loci by making them homozygous in order to optimize the performance
of the
variety. The development of soybean sublines and the use of accelerated yield
technology is a plant breeding technique.

Soybean is the world's leading source of vegetable oil and protein meal. The
oil
extracted from soybeans is used for cooking oil, margarine, and salad
dressings.
Soybean oil is composed of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated
fatty
acids. It has a typical composition of 11% palmitic, 4% stearic, 25% oleic,
50%
linoleic and 9% linolenic fatty acid content ("Economic Implications of
Modified
Soybean Traits Summary Report", Iowa Soybean Promotion Board & American
Soybean Association Special Report 92S, May 1990.) Changes in fatty acid
composition for improved oxidative stability and nutrition are constantly
sought after.

Soybean oil may be split, inter-esterified, sulfurized, epoxidized,
polymerized,
ethoxylated, or cleaved. Designing and producing soybean oil derivatives with
improved functionality, oliochemistry is a rapidly growing field. The typical
mixture of
triglycerides is usually split and separated into pure fatty acids, which are
then
combined with petroleum-derived alcohols or acids, nitrogen, sulfonates,
chlorine, or
with fatty alcohols derived from fats and oils.

Soybean seeds, plants, and plant parts may be used or processed for food,
animal
feed, or a raw material(s) for industry. Soybean is not just a seed it is also
used as a
grain. Soybean is widely used as a source of protein for animal feeds for
poultry,
swine and cattle. The soybean grain is a commodity. The soybean commodity
plant
products include but are not limited to protein concentrate, protein isolate,
soybean
hulls, meal, flower, oil and the whole soybean itself. Soybean seeds can be
crushed,
CA 3058714 2019-10-15
. .
. 85451198
. or a component of the seeds can be extracted in order to make a plant
product, such
as protein concentrate, protein isolate, soybean hulls, meal, flour, or oil
for a food or
feed product. Methods of producing a plant product, such as protein
concentrate,
protein isolate, soybean hulls, meal, flour, or oil for a food or feed product
are
provided. Also provided are the protein concentrate, protein isolate, soybean
hulls,
meal, flour, or oil produced by the methods.
Oil extracted from soybeans is used for cooking oil, margarine, and salad
dressings.
Soybean oil has a typical composition of 11% palmitic, 4% stearic, 25% oleic,
50%
linoleic, and 9% linolenic fatty acid content. Industrial uses of soybean oil,
which is
typically subjected to further processing, include ingredients for paints,
plastics,
fibers, detergents, cosmetics, lubricants, and biodiesel fuel. Soybean oil may
be split,
inter-esterified, sulfurized, epoxidized, polymerized, ethoxylated, or
cleaved. To
produce oil, the harvested soybeans are cracked, adjusted for moisture
content,
rolled into flakes, and then the oil is solvent-extracted. The oil extract is
refined,
optionally blended and/or hydrogenated. Some soybean varieties have modified
fatty
acid profiles and can be used to produce soybean oil with a modified fatty
acid
composition. Oil with 3% or less linolenic acid is classified as low linolenic
oil, oil with
less than 1% linolenic acid is classified as ultra-low linolenic oil. Oil with
70% or
higher of oleic acid is classified as high oleic oil.
Soybeans are also used as a food source for both animals and humans. Soybeans
are widely used as a source of protein for animal feed. The fibrous hull is
removed
from whole soybean and the oil is extracted. The remaining meal is a
combination of
carbohydrates and approximately 50% protein. This remaining meal is heat
treated
under well-established conditions and ground in a hammer mill. Soybean is a
predominant source for livestock feed components. In addition to soybean meal,
soybean can be used to produce soy flour. Soy flour refers to defatted
soybeans
where special care was taken during desolventizing to minimize protein
denaturation
and to retain a high nitrogen solubility index (NSI) in making the flour. Soy
flour is the
typical starting material for production of soy concentrate and soy protein
isolate.
61
CA 3058714 2019-10-15
. .
. 85451198
. Defatted soy flour is obtained from solvent extracted flakes, and contains
less than
1% oil. Full-fat soy flour is made from whole beans and contains about 18% to
20%
oil. Low-fat soy flour is made by adding back some oil to defatted soy flour.
The lipid
content varies, but is usually between 4.5-9%. High-fat soy flour can also be
produced by adding soybean oil to defatted flour at the level of 15%.
Lecithinated soy
flour is made by adding soybean lecithin to defatted, low-fat or high-fat soy
flours to
increase dispersibility and impart emulsifying properties.
For human consumption, soybean can be used to produce edible ingredients which
serve as an alternative source of dietary protein. Common examples include
milk,
cheese, and meat substitutes. Additionally, soybean can be used to produce
various
types of fillers for meat and poultry products. Vitamins and/or minerals may
be
added to make soy products nutritionally more equivalent to animal protein
sources
as the protein quality is already roughly equivalent.
